Probably: controversy -> lots of comments. If you think that, for example, feminism should be trivial or trivially dismissed, then controversy indicates a problem.
"Feminism" in its colloquial understanding covers so much beliefs and memes at this point that it's possible to consider some of them trivial (e.g. "the traditional gender structure is unjust, immoral and insidious") while trivially dismissing others (e.g. "most men are currently privileged over most women", "male sexuality is inherently aggressive/antisocial").

(I'm getting addicted to linking to posts by Yvain. Maybe I should beemind to not doing that more than twice per day or something.)
I think its fine. More people should read posts by Yvain, and your links seem topical.
Okay, fair enough. Personally, I would say that, yeah, men do have gender-related "privilege", that this is trivial once it's pointed out, and that it's basically part of why "the traditional gender structure is unjust, immoral and insidious". So there you go.
Yup, but the arrow pointing the other way (the one NancyLebovitz asked about) is likely waaay thinner and noisier than that.
No need to snark! That's probably true, but also it's mitigated by the fact that the great-grandfather is a prediction rather than an after-the-fact interpretation. In any case, I'm just translating, not making my own assertion.
I didn't intend any snark.
My bad! Probably just oversensitive because of what thread we're in. Apologies!
